Interactive Education for Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
This study is testing an interactive computer program called "Computerized CKD Education" to see if it helps African-American patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) learn more about their condition and treatment options. This program is designed to be culturally specific. Researchers will compare it to standard hospital care, which includes general health education materials. To join, you must be an African-American inpatient between 18 and 70 years old, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 45 (a measure of kidney function) due to chronic kidney disease, and enrolled in the Hospitalist Project. The study aims to see if the computer program improves your knowledge about CKD and your choices for treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 120 people.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 120 participants. It compares an interactive computer program to usual hospital care.
- What's involved
- You would participate in an education program and complete surveys at the beginning of the study and one day after the education.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your knowledge and treatment preferences will be measured at the start of the study and one day after the education intervention.

What this trial measures
- Change in CKD Knowledge baseline to post patient education interventionBaseline and 1 day post-intervention
The Kidney Disease Knowledge Questionnaire (KIKS) is a validated instrument that assesses CKD knowledge. Scores range from 0 (no knowledge)-28 (full knowledge). Change =Post intervention-Baseline scores
- Change in Knowledge about end stage kidney disease (ESKD) treatments from baseline to 1 day post patient education interventionBaseline and 1 day post-intervention
The Kidney Failure Treatment Knowledge is an investigator developed tool that assesses knowledge of 6 ESKD treatment options using a Likert scale (0=no knowledge and 4=a great deal of knowledge). Possible scores range from 0-24
- Change in ESKD Treatment Preferences from baseline to 1 day post-interventionBaseline and 1 day post-intervention
The Kidney Failure Treatment Preferences Survey is an investigator developed tool that assess change in certainty of preference for each of six ESKD treatments. Scores range -12 to 12 with each question scored as -2 extremely unlikely to choose a modality to +2 extremely likely to choose a modality with a change from 0 (in any direction) as an increase in certainty.
